It takes an idiot not to notice, but that’s what the administration seems to think everyone is: a low information voter mesmerized by the Talking Points and celebrity scandals, the old twerk and jerk routine.

The trademark of the Obama administration has been self deception. So much of its public pronouncement consists of lies that its spokesmen habitually speak falsehood even when the truth would cause no embarrassment whatsoever. They are now lying out of habit for no other reason than Pavlovian conditioning.

It would be nice however, if the administration could summon up the decency to say nothing further about such “workplace violence” attacks, whether they are inflicted on schools in Russia, malls in Kenya, cities in the Philippines or churches in Egypt or Pakistan. There is something utterly disgusting, almost blasphemous about their expressions of regrets, no sooner uttered than qualified, that desecrates the memory of the dead.

It has become standard practice for an administration spokesman to emerge, on these occasions, like a figurine from a windup music box, to talk about “Red Lines” or breaking “cycles of violence”, “responsibilities to protect” or about trying to “build understanding” or issuing a boilerplate condemnation. They should stop. Nobody believes them any more, not even the Syrian rebels.

Those expressions are now too tawdry, shopworn and so patently insincere that to use them is to give offense. Please could they just shut the hell up and let the survivors bury the dead?

Move along, nothing to see here

The word “religion” in the context of these attacks is just a word of convenience for the real term which is “organized”. Religion is the skin of this conflict, but the flesh and bones of it are the ladders of recruitment, the ideology, funding, and training which make up its functioning corpus. For example, while not everyone in a madrassa becomes a militant, it is nevertheless constitutes the conveyor belt from which the most promising apples are picked by the recruiters.

We know from the Mumbai attack that a considerable amount of preparation goes into the bombings and assaults that are daily reported. A suicide team is sequestered somewhere remote, brainwashed, trained and sneaked into position by complex arrangements. It just doesn’t spring into existence and its members go for a walk, as Hillary suggested, and suddenly decide to kill some Americans, or Kenyans or Pakistani Christians one night. The attacks are planned, plotted, organized.

The Narrative avoids the word “Jihad” or Islamic terrorism in relation to these violent events, not because they are sensitive to the religious sensibilities of Muslims, though they are but because their primary goal is to make the public unaware the danger facing them is organized and purposeful, based on definite organizations, in hostile states and funded by billions.

The fundamental reason why Benghazi has to be distorted and spun is because to describe it accurately requires telling the story in terms of enemy action. And while action in itself is innocuous to admit, the word “enemy” is fatal to the Narrative. For then the question becomes, “who is he?” They would have us believe instead that everything from September 11 on down is just the outcome of some Rage Boy type resentment somehow provoked by Western insensitivity and/or videos. But that kind of narrative falls apart when the dead are black Africans, Syrians, Pakistanis or Filipinos who never did a thing except breathe. Yet despite this the narrative of the “rogue attack” is pushed for two reasons:

1. the system has not yet nerved itself to confront the hostile forces or even admit their existence;
2. it still believes it can do a “deal” with them even though there is no “them”.

The existence of organized aggression will be painted over for as long as possible and ridicule of the “tinfoil hat brigade” will be encouraged. There’s nothing to see out there in the dark, we will be told. Even if you can hear its approach and feel its heated breath.

The War of the Words for $3.99, Understanding the crisis of the early 21st century in terms of information corruption in the financial, security and political spheres

A key aspect in the multi-dimensional war within Islam is who can be the biggest terrorist. That's what 9/11/01 was really all about, counting coup about who can create the bigger massacre. That's was the attack on the US Marine barracks in Lebanon was about. That's what Lockerbie was about. That is what Khobar Towers was about. That is what Bengahzi was about. That is what Ft Hood was about. That is what the war in Syria is about. That is what the bombings in Iraq are about. The rest of the world is but a stage on which Sunni and Shia can compete to demonstrate who is bigger, badder, and more ruthless. Each of these acts are modified by individual preferences and local circumstances.

In the West, we compete to see who can land a man on the Moon. In Islam they compete to see who can create the larger horrific outrage.

Those who can, create. Those who on a good day can only manage to cross thread a bowling ball compete to make the bigger mess.

To respond effectively would mean reducing the money flow to the hordes of parasites that have benefited from the Obama regime and restoring that money to two groups they despise the most. Those would be productive small enterprises or independent workers and investors, otherwise known as Capitalists, and the traditional conservative institutions of the Armed Forces and their supporting communities. Not only do the hate filled supporters of the Left want to see the world burn in general but in specific their animus towards the patriarchal heterocentric capitalist forces of traditional American Western civilization and culture is so deep that would prefer to Islam advance rather than rebuild the forces needed to combat it.

"Before emerging as a top Brotherhood official and adviser to Morsi, el-Haddad served for five years as a top official at the Clinton Foundation, a nonprofit group founded by former President Bill Clinton."

The Clintons are the moral canary in the coal mine----ethically frail and liable to be easily overcome by corrupting money. They stand for nothing. He is a president impeached and disbarred and yet, with his shady wife, celebrated by the corrupt media.

The vast wealth poured into the Arab oil producers for a generation has been flowing back into the Judeo-Christian world with the poisonous effect of a hose from the tailpipe to the driver and passengers. O'Bama emerged from that toxic mist as the apotheosis to give it material form.

The big question is whether there is any moral strength to defend modern culture and condemn islam for the pervasive malignancy that it is. The average person senses the threat. Hence, the grudging respect for Putin and the Russians.

"everything from September 11 on down". Nonsense. It's from 13 March on down. 13 March 624, that is. Or perhaps a little earlier.

Yes, Islam has been at war with civilisation for 1389 years. The real irony is that a war that has been going on for 1389 years could have had (to quote Churchill) at least an "end of the beginning" on 9/12. In half an hour. But doing that would have hurt the wallets of the Bush family and their friends, so...

I was reading about how the Islamic pirates of Somalia are waiting for the cost of protecting shipping to wear down the Western military budgets so they can get back in business. A comment that I noticed was about the old school method of suppressing Islamic pirates, "Burning a nest of pirates out." If the US Gov. doesn't expel their own nests of Islamist pirates then it might be done for them. People no longer believe in "the religion of piece" phrase or "moderate Islam." It's like how the "race card" is getting harder to play these days.
